this is such an ignorant statement i don't even know how to respond!!! willy_nilly:

Then I will in terms I think Dana can relate to.:thumbup


Dana....a lot of the FOOD we EAT COMES from the ocean.....now...maybe you dont like to eat seafood much....but its a MAJOR FOOD source...not just for us, but for the creatures that inhabit it.

Now...WE may not be able to do much....but with knowledge comes power...and we can make sure something like this never happens again.

they are now saying that the oil and all the burning and all the shit we are putting in the water to eat the oil is becoming air pollutants....great!


i can't wait for this stuff to travel up the vermilion waterways and into my backyard (literally)

But I think that one of the most important things to keep in mind as coverage continues, and the public starts getting tired of an oil spill story that doesn't have hundreds of oiled marine mammals and birds or a black slick spreading for miles, is that the real story is going to be what's happening beyond what the eye can see? What's happening with those chemical dispersants, allegedly safe, according to BP and the EPA? How is all this oil affecting marine life, and what's going on in underwater ecosystems? The cliche goes that appearances are deceiving. Well, looking out at hundreds of miles of an ocean coated in an innocuous-looking sheen, that truism has never before seemed more resonant.

I could bitch, piss and moan about it while I don't have the power to change a damn thing. Would that be better?

Not true...some places are taking hair and sending it over to help soak up the oil (I believe there's a thread somewhere). So yeah, you could get your hair cut and help out.

It's called empathy, Dana...most of us have it.
